Casino claims 30-year-old overpayments from nearly 900 employees, before backpedaling. The announcement aroused incomprehension among employees, who ultimately won their case.
The Casino group, recently bought by Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky, wanted to recover these sums before the final sale of its stores. These salary advances, which ranged from a few hundred to several thousand euros, dated from the 1990s, when several companies were bought out. After a few hours, management finally reversed its decision.
